: I think the right solution to this problem is to not call m_reclaim() if
:M_DONTWAIT is set. Do you agree?

Yah, that makes more sense.
Refresh my memory please: Is ip_input() called at splimp() or splnet() ?
If it's called from an interrupt there are other race conditions beyond
m_retry() that we have to worry about.
